PURPOSE AND SCOPE. a, ‘The purpose of this training text is to provide guidance in the training pro= cedures and technique of instruction of basic rifle marksmanship and the Cast unaimed method of fire called Quick Kill b. This training test, when used in conlunction with FY 23-71, provides guidance for instruction in Quick Kil! Techniques and Basic Rifle Marksnanship. 2, BACKGROUND. 8. Quick Kill has been developed and refined from the method recognized among civillans as INSTINCT SHOOTING. Basically, Quick Kill is doing what comes naturally. Tt is a distince departure from most methods taught which tend tovard mathematical prec:sion The key to the successful employment of this technique is simplicity. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS POINTING THE PINGER. Since man has fired veapons there have been those few who have effec- cively engaged close vange targets, making no apparent or conscious effort 20 AIM, Hovever successful these firers were, no satisfactory method existed of teaching anyone else who did not have this innate ability. Hunters sometimes acquired this ability but only after firing literally thousands of shells. The method of teaching a person to effectively engage a target without first alining the sights was not discovered until 1954, During that year a most effective weapon and training aid vas discovered which nade it possible to teach anyone who could see his target, co hit it if it were at a sufficiently close renge x0 that windage and trajectory were not deterents to accuracy. The weapon was spring operated air rifle and the training aid was the BB ir fired, which, because of the low velocity the weapon, could be seen in the air and becane referred to as "the poor man's tracer” ‘The effective teaching of this system was on an individual sass ~ one inseructor to one stullent ~ tuo or three students at the most b. United Seates Army Infantey School has developed a methodology whereby this technique can be effectively caught to masses of men simultaneously. However, chese techni- ques continue to be the most personalized instruction in the Army today. c. Let it be clearly understood that, vhen time allows, ie fs always preferable to use the sights; but, when the occasion calls for the speed of reflex reaction as a pre- requisite to survival, ‘there is no substituce for a ready and working knowledge of Quick KatCHAPTER 2 BQUIPHENT 3. AIR RIFLE. a, The initial weapon used in the raining of Quick RII1 is an air rifle or 3B gun. There are several reasons for ite use. (1) Tt ds extremely economical to operat (2) Te may be Fixed in Limited aveas without danger, (3) There te ne concern over the soldier being afraid. (4) The BB, itealE, serve a tracer, (5) Maintenance cost can be held to a minimum. b.

The air rifle should de constructed without aighta so that the amocth plane of the barrel will in no way be ia- pateed. (Figure 1) 4. SAFETY GLASSES. ‘The only danger from an air rifle, properly handled, 1a the pouatbility of a rico cheting BB hitting someone in the eye who in within a radiua of 15 meters of the action, Also within thie area che velocity of the BB is auffictent to bresk or crack ordinary prt scription glasses. Tharefore, it is imparativa, AN ABSOUITE MIST, THAT ANYONE - PLAEA, DNSTRUCTOR OR SPECTATOR, WITHIN 15 METERS OF -THE FINING WEAR CLEAR SAFETY CLASSES WHICH PROTECT AIS HYES FROM THE FRONT, SIDE AND TOP. THESE GLASSES MUST BE MADE OF A DURABLE MATERIAL THAT WILL WITHSTAND THE IMPACT OF A RB PIRED FOINT BIANK AT A RANGE OF ONE INCH FROM AN ATK RIPLE WITH A MUZZLE VELOCITY OF AT LEAST 400 FEET PER SECOND, THESE CLASSES MUST BE SO CONSTRUCTED THAT THEY CAN BE WORN OVER PRESCRIPTION LENSES.

Te Ls common practice among the non-professional to consider the only function of rhe eye as one of acuity. Lf for example, a person can read letters 1" high ot a distance of 20 feet, he is considered co have 20/20 vision; and, therefore, perfect eye function. This is not necessertly true since acuity 1s only one function of the eye. This siaply meens chat he doesn’t need prescription lenees for reading. But vision plays a much larger role in man's life. If he con see at all, vision plays a part in every mental and physical determination he makes. Some skills other than acuity thet play a part in shooting are depth perception, size and distance discrimination, and coordination between ayes, brain and muscles -- particularly those affecting the Erigger finger. These skille, in fact, are highly important in the process of any discriminating movements for high performance in re- fined physieal-visual tasks. To become an effective Quick Kill shooter, for exemple, a soldier mst learn to concentrate his viual focus on @ given point of a target -- either real or imaginary -- for sone time period from a one-tenth of # second to a second in order to react properly and effectively engage the target at the point of focus or close co it. It is not enough to see the bulk of the target or be casually avare of its presence. The Hiver must instinctively elect @ specific spot vithin the overall area of his targer and that spot MUST capture his complete attention. This is the difference between merely seeing fan object and REALLY LOOKING at that object. ‘The procedure for accomplishing this and b coming @ competent Quick Kill shooter 1s further explained in Chapter 4. 8. MASTER EYE. ‘As moat people are predominantly right or left handed in their actions, they are ‘elso predominantly right or left eyed and the dominant or stronger eye {e called the Master Eye. IF 1S OF VITAL IMPORTANCE THAT THE MASTER EYE OF EACH SOLDIER BE DETERMINED BEFORE HE FIRES THE FIRST ROUND FROM ANY ARMY WEAPON IN BASIC RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP TRAINING, The proce~ dure for accomplishing this is aa follows: 4. The {natructor stands in front of the soldier at a dietance of 6 to 10 feet, Placing hie forefinger against his nose. (Figure 5) b. He inarructs the soldier 0 concentrate on thia point of focus with both eyes open. c, Then, the aoldier extends hie dominant arm, forms a circle with thumb and fore- finger of that hand, locke through the aperture until he focuses on the nose of the instruc~ tor. (Figura 5) d. The soldier's eye which appears to the instructor directly behind the finger circle ts che MASTER EYE, (Figure 6) In this {Ilustration the MASTER BYE 4a the left eye. ‘The importance of pre-firing determination of the MASTER EYE lies in praventing errore which would eventually have to be corrected. If a soldier ia a right-handed shooter and has a master left eya, he has what is known as crossed-dominance. He is inclined to strike his target on the left side, left edge, or mics it altogether to the left. The instructor remedies this by instating the soldier keep his head high (line of vision tvo -- three inch above the top line of his weapon), eract and ursed slightly to the right so that the left eye is directly ovar the bore of the barrel. If the shooter is left-handed and right-eyed, the procadure is reversed. Regardless which eye is « shooter's master eye, if he geta hie head too low on the atock or the comb of tha stock too high on hia cheek (where line of vision and top line of the weapon approach each other to the point of bacoming the sane line) he, the shooter, is blocking out the vision from his shooting aide and ie picking up hia @linement from the off eye. He therefore develops what 1s known as # parallax of viston, which means he seas 4 target from a different point than he did vith head held high and this produces an apparent displacement. If he 1¢ a right shouldered shooter, he 19 seeing acro: the muzele of the veapon with hie left eye and believes it therefore is pointed to the right of hia target, As a result, he pulls to the left and establishes « faulty alinenent, pro- ducing strikes to the left of center. The effect, in fact, ia similar to the one created by che driver of a car who attempts to stay on the right side of the road while driving with his head leaning out of the window which will cause him to pull to the lefe.Figure to the left {s instructor checking master eye of soldier to the right. Note instructor places finger on nose in order to emphasize point at which student soldier is te look through circle made by his thumb and forefinger. Figure 5 8CHAPTER 4 ‘AIR RIFLE TRAINING 9. COcKTNG ProceDURE, The air rifle which is at present used in the initial stages of rwick Kill training has @ Lever cocking action which builds up considerable pressure during the cocking process. If the cocking Le not carried out in the proper manner, it is not only tiring, but can be ex- tremely danaging to the fingers should the lever slip and smash then against the stock. Therefore, before moving to the firing line, it ts imperative the sold{er be Caught to posi- tion the weapon as in figure 7, pushing the berrel in a counter-clockwise direction until the gun is fully cocked (Figure 8). 10, AERIAL TARGET SHOOTING POSITION. Prior to actual instruction and as soon as the soldier is assigned to a firing point hie instructor will check his master eye and if there is crossed dominance he will take appro- priate precautions as described in 8d. Then the soldier (and observers, if any) will put on their safety glasses. The instructor will establish him in the "proper shooting position, (front view, Figure 9; right side view, figure 10a; left side view, Figure 10b; and rear view, Figure 11), carefully noting the following: a, That ne is leaning slightly forward and inta his weapon. 2. That his head Ls ersee e. Th © SOM eyes are open and looking well over the weapon, NOT down the barrel. @. That the veapon is locked inte the pocket of his shoulder. c. That the stock is stack-welded to his Jaw, £, That :%e muzzle of the weapon is elevated to an angle of about 75° hen che weapon is locked inte position properly, it has becone an extension of his eyes, and it is pointing where the student is looking and his whole body must move as 8 unit wich his eyes, as they move to any target. tN, That his feet are confortasly spread and his weight 1s on the balls of his feet for easy body balance and nobility. 12, ABMIAL Ta308P ALA ALFLE stloorre ‘IwstRUctroN, a. thea the soldier is in the "proper" position, the inscructor should have him fire into the air, sas he Looks over the barrel and about 15-20 mecers beyond the end of the muzzle, the soldier should 3e able Lo sea the 3B, He is in reality firing an inexpensive tracer. D, The instructor now shows the soldier the initial aerial target (34" metal disc) ané carefully cupiains to the saldier that he is going to toss the target s distance of 2-4 meters ahove che uoldicr's head and slightly in front of him. (Figure 12). The {nstructor next explains to the soldier that he is to LOOK (NOT aim, point, track or lead) at the TOP EDGE of that target, Thetspidier is NOT to look at the karrel, Because the shooter's line of vision ts higher than the plane of his barrel, he mut look at che TOP EDCE of an aerial target so that his line of fire is coward the center of mass and not below the target. If he looks at the whole targee, with no point of concentration, he will shoot all around the target. The shooter MUST learn Co concentrate his focus on a'given point. Initially, this MUST be the TOP EDGE. After the shooter has become extremely proficient, he will be able £0 pick out any point fon the target and hit it €, ‘The instructor should throw two or three targets into the air for the soldier to observe as dry runs prior to che soldier's Firing his first shot. d. The instructor must assume the proper position in relation to the soldier sa that he may (1) observe the soldier's positioning of his piece, (2) determine whether he is LOOKING at hie target or pointing at it, and (3) follow che path of the BB.

Instruction in Quick Kill should alvays be preceded by a thorough demonstration ‘The instructor must renember that effectiveness in the "Quick KIL" method of shooting is paved on quickly inetilling confidence in the shooter; therefore, the more dranatic the dem- onstration, within military limits, the more effectively this quality is instilled prior to training, (A sample lecture and demonstration outline is at Appendix IX.) 50, from the very start, the instructor must begin to instill that confidence. In effect, he ts going to Mealk” the soldier into hitting. Therefore, the instructor talke to the soldier continuously while the saldier 1s shoating. The instructor may develop his own type of "patter", but it MUST enbrace thie kind of terminology, “Look at che top of your target. Watch the top edge of your target. If you are going to miss, miss over the top of your target". Although the soldfer may not consciously hear the instructor each time, the coaching will have = sub- conscious effect and get the proper reaction from the soldier. 00 not slacken the coaching ‘and continually offer encouregement and congratulations as the soldier succeeds. NEVER be negative in your approach and NEVER reprimand the soldier as long as he is honestly trying- no matter how slow he is to learn. More so than in any other type of military instruction, must the instructor initially be a persuasive and convincing “salesman”, £, After each serial target is thrown and fired upon, the instructor must see thet the soldier lovers his weapon and recocks it by the safe leverage method (figures 7 & 8). Then the soldier premounts his weapon before the next target 1s exposed. B. The instructor MUST continue tossing the larger target until the soldier is able to hit it approximately 8 out of 10 times, When che soldier {s able co accomplish this, the instructor should move on to the smaller target, explaining to the soldier that size makes no difference. If he looks ar the TOP EDGE, he will hic te. I£ he doesn't, he will miss it by the sane amount he would have missed the larger carget, NINETY PERCENT OF AERIAL TARGET MISSES ARE BENEATH THE TARGET. If the soldier gets his head too far dovn on the stock he will make this error, because he has to drop the barrel below the target in order to see it. If the soldier has trouble hitting the smaller target, DON'T let him miss it many times before going back to the larger target. Keep rotating back and forth until the soldier is able to hit either one with regularity, When the soldier {s at this stage of Learning “Quick Ki11", the instructor may allow him to hold the weapon st the “high port" position as a target is tossed into the afr, then mount the weapon while LOOKING at the target and engage it. hh. The soldier may desire to fire at smaller targets; such as candy Life Savers or salt tablecs, and should be encouraged to de so on his oun time. However, training time is not allocated for practice firing of this nature. When the instructor has one soldier hitting the larger target 8 out of 10 tines, he should begin instructing the second soldier. When the second soldier is doing at well as the first, che instructor pairs the two off es coach and pupil to work together. Coach and Pupil should switch position efter each magazine is fired. Since this is a firing exercise the instructor should remember this and so advise the soldier he is instructing. After he has paired off all his soldiers, he becomes an observer and serves only in an advisory cape: etey where needed. During breaks for rest or reloading, the instructor will answer questions or explain the system. ‘The more familiar the soldier becones with "WHY" the "Quick Ki1I" method works, the more he will retain of HOW to fire the "Quick Kill" method when it counts - in combat! 12, GROUND TARGET AIR RIFLE SHOOTING INSTRUCTION. After the soldier has developed proficiency in hitting both the “arge and smell aerial targets, the next step is ground Cargets. The purpose of aerial shooting ia to dram atize a man’s natural shooting ability, build his confidence in himself and fire up his en- thusiasm. In addition, the soldier is learning to hit moving targets. Shoating men on the ground is che "name of che gane'', and all further instruction in this training texe will address itself to this subject b. The first point the instructor MUST emphasize to the soldier is that PROTECTIVE GLASSES MUST ALSO BE WORN WHILE ENGAGING GROUND TARGETS. BB's will ricochet back from the miniature E-type silhouettes just as dangerously as they did from aerial targets, €. The inseructor puts the solder ina Leaning slightly forward, weapon at the iov port posdticn, feet comfortably spread and weight on the balls of the feet for balance so that he can engage targets within an arc of at least 120° to his front without having te shife his feet "proper" shooting position 4. At this point the instructor MUST explain to the soldier that he LOOKS AT THE BASE OF A GROUXD TARGET AS OPPOSED TO THE TOP OF AN AERIAL TARCET. 20e. Te ts ‘ural inclination to shaot over ground targets because of a tendency to overestinate distances and an urge to draw a comparison between the barrel and the target. Algo, if the soldier does mies, he vante his shot to be low so that there still remains the possibility of effectively engaging his target with the ricochet. f. With the soldier to a "proper" position, the instructor reaches him to “'stick" or jab at his target aa he brings the weapon to his shoulder and stock-welds the stock to jaw. (Figure 14) DO NOT let the aoldier "Flag", “swing” or "anap" into firing position. &- While the veapon is being shouldered, and during the firing, the soldier's eyes (BOTH EYES OPEN) MUST be riveted on the contrasting colored spot app Of the miniature silhouette. In order for him to do this, he MUST drop the weapon from his Line of vision so that he makes no comparison between the target and the muzzle. (Figure 15) The soldier 1s now ready to shoot ground targets. He MUST be rem ded that, should he aiss a ground target, he 1s to engage # different one rather than continting co fire on the missed afthouette because the soldier sees che strike of his bullet. in the case of amiss, either high or low, right or left, he will be inclined to bracket or shoot right back where he made hie original error if he does not shift targets and erase the in- correct visual picture from his mind. NOTE: Emphasize that a soldier would not shift targets in combat should he miss, but would contique In his efforts tn effectively engage the same approaching enemy target. The shift- ing from a missed ground stlhouette to another ia merely a training aid to assist him in developing skill in the “Quick KL11" method until he becomes proficient and instinctive in his reaction. 1, The instructor should explain to the soldier and continue to remind him that he is on target” as soon as his weapon is locked into position and that he should ast hesi- tate to fire. ‘The longer he waits, the more he is apt to aim or attempt to draw @ conpari- son between the target and the muzzle, On the other hand, he should not hurry his shot. He should shoulder the weapon in one smooth fluid movenent, not hurriedly jerk it to his shouléer. este actually slows him dova and makes his shooting very erratic, Motto: "MAKE WASTE SLORLA J. The instructor must continually and continuowly coach the soldier, Just as in aerial shooting. "Talk" him into hitting. Re positive, encoureging and congratulating upon each successful hit s0 that the soldier's confidence and enthusiasm stay at a high pitch.

The information included in this chapter concerning Quick Kill firing instructions is limited to their application to the N14 rifle since it is the weapon used in the Basic Rifle Marksmanship Course. It should be noted, hovever, that the principle applies with other shoulder weapons. 1. TRANSITION 70 M14 RIFLE. It is necessary to bridge the gap for the soldier who has been firing an air rifle at various aerial targets, which have developed his confidence and fired up his enthusiasm fand at miniature silhouette ground targets, to the real business of ‘Aray marksmanship train- ing =~ ffring service weapons at E-type sithouettes. The instructor places the soldier on a'firing Tine at a distance of 5 to é meters from an E-type silhouette target (preferably an tlectrically activated one so that the strike of the bullet knocks it down). The soldier engages this target vith an ety rifle for # period no longer than 5 minutes, This silhouette Should have circle 2-3 inches in diameter painted in the center of the lover third as {Illustrated in Eigore 16. This circle serves as the "looking" point for the soldier. After this 5 minute warm-up, the instructor must emphasize to che soldier that he ie now ready to fire the service weapon and to fire it exactly a3 he hes the air rifle. 15. M14 WITH RIB AS TRAINING AID. So far, the soldier has confined his firing to an air rifle. He has learned to WOOK at the target and NOT his veapon. This, of course, ina phrase is Quick Kill. The barrel of this air rifle, however, was not encumbered with sights, hence, there was no pro- trusion above the barrel to distract his eyes from the target. Therefore, when he locks his service piece into the pocket of his shoulder, looking over the prominent sights of the Hl4, he is not only inclined to be distracted by these sights, but, further, he is unable to pick up the top plane of the barrel in his peripheral vision. As a result, he is inclined to lose confidence in the Ouick Kill or pointing method since he may not be able to visually relate himself to the weapon b. Although the effective Quick Kill Shooter does not consciously aline his barrel when picking up his target, he must be able to relate himself to it just as the driver of an automobile keeps his car on the road by looking to the horizon maintains his position on the road because the hood of the car appears in his peripheral vision relating car and road. In order to accomplish this same relationship between rifle and target when the soldier switches from air rifle to service weapon, a temporary rib, figure 17a and b, is used. Both front and rear sights are taped. (M16, figure 18a and b). ‘The top of this simple device, the rib, is visually apparent to the soldier and gives the illusion of the straight Line plane of the air rifle. THIS 15 PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT because the soldier is to position himself and fire the Mid EXACTLY as he did the sir rifle. 16. M16 QUICK KILL FIELD FIRING. a. The soldier initially engages the E-type silhouette as pictured in figure 19a, front view; figure 19b, side view, using the M14 with temporary training rib attached at a range of 15 meters. After firing 5 rounds, the soldier and instructor move forvard to the target, examining the soldier's group or pattern of strikes. This is e critical stage in Quick Kill Training. The soldier may be grouping well; but, if his strikes are to either side of the target at this range, he will be completely off the target at an extended range. IE he is vertically centered, he should be able to extend his effective range without diffi- culty. If the soldier is shooting to the right or left side of the target, the instructor should take into consideration the soldier's MASTER EYE and the position of his head as it relates to the stock of his weapon. These are the factors primarily responsible for off- center shooting. D. Following the instructor's correction of the soldier after 5 romds at 15 meters, the soldier shoots another 5 rounds at 15 meters in order to determine if he has made the appropriate corrections. NO USEFUL PURPOSE IS SERVED IN EXTENDING THE TRAINEE'S RANGE UNTIL HE 1S EFFECTIVE AT 15 METERS c. After firing at 15 meters the firing line is moved back to 30 meters from which point the soldier fires 19 rounds. He and the instructor then examine the target. 24Front view of E-Type silhouette illustrating painted circle as focal point for soldier who will engage it. Figure 16 25— Figure 17a.

Finatly, the soldier moves back to $0 meters which is the ultimate extent of range in Quick Kill training during the Basic Rifle Marksnanship Progran. The soldier fires 10 rounds at this range following which he and the instructor once again check his effective ness. At this stage of training the soldier is sufficiently accomplished and confident 90 that the temporary trafning rib may be discarded. He is taken back through the 3 ranges he has just fired, engaging the target with the sane oumber of rounds in order to insure the fact that he recognizes the training rib is no longer necessary. Both front and rear sights contique to be taped throughout the above exercises 17. NIGHT FIRING. ‘The soldier will have completed his Quick Kill instruction, both afr rifle and service weapon, betwean the hours of 0800 and 1700. He is now ready for Night Firing. The procedure is identical to that conducted during the day. The sights should continue to be taped so that there is no inclination to use then. It has been the custom in the past that night firing was conducted at ranges of 50 and 75 meters if the prevailing light vas ade- quate and fron 25 and 50 if it was not. It is here strongly recomended that the terminology be changed to: night firing should be conducted to the Limit of visibility since it is im possible to hit a target except by luck, that the shooter cannot see; and NO USEFUL PURPOSE Is SERVED, NOTH: During experimental training tt has been the experience of the instructors that the periods of Quick Kill instruction have had such a positive effect on the soldter and devel- oped his enthusiasm and confidence to such a point, that, in some cases, there have been those who felt they could effectively engage any target -- regardless of range -- without using the sights. In order to prevent any such reaction, it {s suggested that, during the introduction to period 7, a brief demonstration be presented. Tt should illustrate an in- structor (preferably a member of the Quick Kill demonstration team) using his sights, engag- ing an E-type silhouette from the prone position and at # range of 200 - 300 meters. The purpose of this demonstration, and it MUST be brought out by the PI, is to establish the fact that, during the Ouick Kill periods of instruction the soldiers are taught « fast, effective, unained method of fire necessary to engage fleeting or surprise close range tar- gets. Throughout the remainder of basic rifle marksmandhip they will be learning the sighting method which as evidenced by the denonstrator's tight group et this extended range, ts quite different from, but compatible with the Quick Kill method. 30APPENDIX I TEXT REFERENCES, TRAIVING AIDS, AND DESIRABLE FACILITIES 1, General.

PURPOSE, ‘This appendix is intended to supplement AR 385-63. The safety precautions listed below have general application and must therefore be supplemented by local regulations governing the operation of specific facilities; e.g., night firing ranges. 2, MECHANICAL TRAINING. a. ALL rifles must be cleared prior to conducting mechanical training. NOTE: A weapon is clear when the bolt is open and locked to the rear, the magazine is re- moved, the safety engaged, and the chamber void of anmunition. b. A careful check of dumy rounds must be made to insure that no live ammunition 4s among then. €. Toolboxes, spare parts boxes, or other containers in the vicinity of the training atea must be checked to insure the absence of live ammunition. 3. RANGE FIRING, BB guns will never be pointed at any individual due to the po stuck BB's in supposedly empty guna. Ability of b. Safety goggles will be worn at all times by all individuals on or near the firing Line during BB gun firing because of the high ricochet rate of the BB ec. Care must be exercised in the cocking of the BB gun because of the tendency of this gun to fire during the cocking process thus causing the cocking lever to snap back, inflicting injury upon fingers. The correct method of cocking is described in Chapter 4, paragraph 9, 4. Dumy rounds must be checked to insure no Live ammunition is among them. e. ach rifle will be inspected by an officer or NCO prior to firing to insure there is no obstruction in the bore. Upon conpletion of firing, each rifle will be inspected to insure that it is clear. £. Except while being used to conduct live or dry fire exercises, all rifles will have the bolts open and safeties engaged. g. When a rifle is carried on the range, the muzzle will be angled up and down range. hh. During live fire exercises, all rifles present on the range will be presumed to be loaded and must therefore never be pointed at anyone or anything except the authorized targets. 4. During daytime live fire exercises, a red streaner will be displayed from a prominent location on the range. J. During night firing exercises, a red flashing Light and a red streamer will be displayed from proninent locations. k. Live firing will not be conducted until all prescribed roadblocks have been established and all necessary renge guards posted. 1, Ammunition will be issued only on command from the control tover. m. Rifles will be loaded (or simulated loaded) only on command from the control cover. a. Prior to firing, all individuals to include range personnel will be informed of the safety Linits of the range. 0. When not being used, rifles will be placed in racks or in such a position as to be easily inspected to insure the bolts are open and safeties engeged. 36Ds Dry firing will not be conducted in rear of the firing Line unle: by an officer or NCO. supervised + Smoking is not permitted on the firing line or near ammunition. Fr. Running is not permitted on the range. 8, Personnel will not move forvard of the firing line until given clearance by the officer in charge. E. Anyone observing an unsafe condition during firing exercises should give the command CEASE FIRING. When this command is given, it will be relayed imediately to the control tover operator who will command CEASE FIRING. The range safety officer is then reaponsible for investigating the unsafe condition, taking necessary corrective action, and verifying to the officer in charge that the unsafe condition has been corrected and firing nay be resumed. u. ALL personnel will be inspected for brass and ammunition and their weapons cleared prior to leaving the range. 4 SAFETY NONCOMMISS TONED OFFICERS. a. ‘The principal duty of safety NCO's is to enforce eafety regulations to include inspecting weapons upon completion of firing to insure they can be safely removed from the firing line. Safety NC's may also be used to eritique and correct the firera’ application of fundamentals, provided this duty does not interfere with their principal task of enfore- ing safety regulations. >, Safety NC's oust understand the various aignals necessary to insu operation of the range. If possible, each safety NCO should be equipped with a fo arsist in giving these signals. Methode of giving signals with and without Paddles ere as follows, (1) With safety paddles. (a) NOT READY or NOT CLEAR -- The safety paddle is held over the head with the red side facing the control tover. (B) READY or CLEAR -- The safety paddle is held over the head with the white side facing the control tover. (2) Without safety paddles. (@) NOT READY or NOT CLEAR -- The safety NCO faces the tover and extends both arms over his head with his hands clasped. (b)_ READY or CLEAR -- The safety NCO faces the tver and extends his ams up and to his front vith che palms of hia hands toward the control tover. 37‘APPENDIX IV MAINTENANCE 1s Generel. The Army Quick Kill air rifle, a breakdown of which is illustrated in figure 20, must Se maintained to insure proper functioning at al! times. This appendix is @ guide for conmanders in establishing and conducting proper maintenance. 2. Maintenance of the Air Rifle. The air rifle used for "Quick Kill" training requires daily maintenance. The daily maintenance i a, Clean the exterior of the weapon. Glean the shot tube to remove all foreign matter. ¢. Place 2 or 3 drops of of] into the main barrel in the ‘ole marked "ofl here" Just forward of tie receiver. 3, Malfunctisns of the Air Rifle Most malfunctions result from foreign matter or jammed 3B shat in the shot cube. To remove the matter, the shot tube must be remaved. The air rifle should be held with the muzzle pointing tovards the ground, and shake the rifle allowing the foreign matter, to slide avay from the grooves of the shot tube. Remove the shot tube usin: Just your hands to un- Screw the shot tube from the weapon. Then clean the shot tube anc barrel to renove all foreign matter, CAUTION: When shaking the weapon, do not hit the weapon against any object. If the shot tube cannot be removed by hand, a pair of pliers may ve used to renove the shot tube. If pliers are used, it may strip the grooves on the shot tube, and the shot tube must be replaced. If the weapon fails to cock, it de due to a defective Flexible plunger head assenbly, a defective trigger assembly, or a worn cocking lever. 7o replace one or more of these parts, fotlov the disassembly instructions in paragrapi 4, Disassembly and Assenbly of the Air Rifle. 4, Disassembly: To disassemble the M4199, the following steps must be followed: (1) First, remove the three stock serews on the air rifle, found on the top, right and left sides of ‘the receiver near the stock. Next, separate che stock from the main barrel sssenbly by applying slight rearvard pull on the stock. as the Ms199 Afr Rifle te disassembled, the parts will be laid out on a clean surface, from left to right, in the order of removal, (2) Then remove the trigger assembly screw located on the left hand side of the rifle in the slot over the trigger assembly. Remove the trigger assembly by grasping the trigger and pulling it directly to the rear until the trigger assenbly is free of the main barrel and receiver group. ()_ Take the cocking lever bolt wrench (figure 21) and remove the hex nut on the right hand side of the rifle that holds the cocking lever into position. Then remave the cocking lever by moving it as if you were going to cock the veapon. The cocking lever will fall free, (4) To remove the flexible plunger head assembly, wich the muzzle end against a stationary object such as a work bench, insert the plunger fork (figure 22 and 23). Push the plunger fork well forvard until you are able to remove the spring anchor. After removing the spring anchor, release the pressure on the plunger fork and renove it from the weapon. Then take the main barrel and receiver assenbly and point the muzzle into the air. The flex- ible plunger assenbly should fall free; if it fails to fall free, tap the receiver on a table with the muzzle pointed into the air. Then remove the flexible plunger head assembly. (3) After removing the flexible plunger head assembly, you may find chat the plunger washer has renained in the main barrel. To remove this washer, push any type of a rod, such as a bore rod for the standard service weapon, through the bore, inserting the rod firse through the muzzle end. The washer will then fall free, 38b. Avsenbly: Before assembly, the soldier must insure that all parts are clean and operable. If the cocking lever, flexible plunger head assenbly, or the trigger assembly is worn appreciably, it would be advisable to replace one or all of these parts. These epere parte are normally packed with each set of two air rifles, If you need additional replacenent parts, see paragraph 5. To assenble the air rifle, replace the parts in the reverse order from disassembly. (1D). Replace the new or the original flexible plunger head assembly. Insert the flexible plunger head assembly back into the main barrel aagenbly with the plunger head section or the rod, entering the weapon first as it 1s leid out in figure 23. Grease must be placed on the plunger head case. This is the part that is perpendicular to the flexible plunger head at the rear of the plunger head aseubly. Insure that the greased part 1a pointing down, Seat the flexible plunger head assenbiy fully forward using the plunger fork. Holding the plunger fork fully forward, insert the spring anchor (Part #62). Remove the plunger fork and insure that the plunger head assenbly remained locked into position. (2)_Insert the erigger assenbly until the screw holes are in ine. (Do this by looking into the screw hole for the trigger aosenbly screw on the left side of the main barrel assembly.) After alining these holes, insert the erigger ausenbly screw and tighten te with a screvdriver. (3). To reseat the cocking lever, place tt into its normal closed position and aline the screw hole in the cocking lever with the acrev holes for the cocking lever screw. Insert the cocking lever screw and screw it tight, but not 30 as to hinder the movenent of the cocking lever. Replace the hex nut with the cocking lever bolt wrench. (4) Reseat the stock, alining the serew holes in the main barrel assembly. Replace the three stock screws, but insuring that you replace the screw on the top last. (5) This completes the assenbly of the Mi199 Air Rifle. To insure that it te asvenbled correctly, cock the weapon and attempt to fire it. Should the rifle fail to function, disassenble the weapon and inspect it for proper assembly. After locating the trouble, once again follow the steps for assenbly. Repeat the process until the weapon operates correct ly. 5. Replacement Parts. To order replacenent parts for the mi199 Air Rifle, write Atrect to the Daisy Manufacturing Company, Rogers, Arkansas, and ask for the parts by name ‘and number.

To prevent « BB ricochet from putting out your eye. I already wear prescription glasses. Why are they not enough protection? Because the force of the ricocheting BB is sufficient to shatter most prescription gla and, although the BB would probably not reach your eyes, would. You can arill wear your prescription glasses with jes put on over then, Why do 1 keep both eyes open? jecause your focus 4s sharper, your depth perception is more acute and your alinement is truer, When you close one eye, you reduce your visual efficiency by sox. Why do you tell me to look at the top of an seriel carget? Yor two reasons. iret, your eyes are higher than the barrel. If your eyes are riveted on the top of the target, your Line of fire will be tovard the center of the target and not below it. Second, you need to 1 sro how to focus fon a point. If you look at the whole target, you will shoot all around te, but ££ you concentrate on the TOP EDGE your shot will be in there. Eventually, eB you become nore proficient, you vill be able to look at any spot on the target and hit it, (This 1s why experienced "Quick Kill" shooters are able to shoot the paper center out of a washer), Why (Lf the soldier 1s right-handed) must I extend ay left hand 0 far down the barrel tovard the auzele? Because it is your Leading hand and it takes the weapon to the tar ty just when you point at an object you extend the pointing arm in order to reduce the margin of error. Way do To» 10 consistently below aerial targets? Because you look at the vhole target inatead of TOP EDGE or you are getting your head down too far on the barrel and having to drop the weapon out of the way 20 that you can see the target. Why do you aay I can't shoot over the target? You can, but only by pointing the weapon over the top of the targs or looking too far over the top of the target. If you are looking at the TOP EDGE, there 1a no vay to shoot over it because to do aa you vould have to blot out the target with your barrel. 40lo. a es BB. Question: Anower Question: Anaver Question: Anaver: Question: Anower: Question: Anguer: Answer: Why do you say that small targets are no more difficult co hit than large ones? ‘The apparent difficulty in biteing small targets is primarily psychological. In fact, regardless of size of target, if you miss it, you miss 1t by the same anount. If you concentrate on the TOP EDGE (whatever tts size), you will hte de. Why is it important for me to always lean into the veapon whether target ts aerial type of ground type? Tt might not make too much difference with an air rifle except that your balance is better; but, if you tried shooting # service weapon of f-balance and leaning backward, you might wind up {n the prone position looking at the sky Why 1a {t important for me to be able to see the BB? Because it te "the poor man’s tracer, You can see your own errors in addition to my exolaining these errors Why don't T lead, track or aim? Simplicity de the key ¢o "Quick Kill” fire, It is reactive and spontaneous, Ie 1s not thought out, calculated or calibrated as in, yy artillery fire, In "Quick KILI" your eyes serve as built-in computers. That is why this method of fire is so fast and targets can be effectively engaged 0 quickly. Why do you tell me to slow down? Because haste makes waste. If you Jump at your target, you get off a Jerky inaccurate shot. To be an effective, and skillful "Quick KLII" shooter, you muat develop a enooth flowing rhythm in mounting the veapon and getting off « shot. Why must I look at the BOPTOM of a ground target, if T look at the TOP of an aerial one? There are two reasons for this, First, ir is 4 natural inclination to shoot over ground targets because of « tendency to overestinate distances and an urge to drav 4 comparison between the gun barrel and the target. By looking at the lower portion of the target and dropping the weapon down cut of the Line of sight, you are eble to hit the target near the center of ma: Second, Af you do miss, you want to be low so that there till remains the possibility of engaging the target with the ricochet. If you fire over the target's head, you have not only missed, but have no visible means of correcting the error. Te's imposaible to tell by how much you went over. 41we. 15, Question: Answer Question: Answer: Why do you insist that, if I miss « ground target, I do not shoot it again, but go to another target? If you miss a ground target and see the strike of the bullet, you are inclined to do one of two things, eithr start to bracket the target, or shoot right back where you saw the erring bullet strike because your eyes are: atcracted to that point. You need to wipe that visual picture out of your mind. You do this by going to another target. Then you can return to the missed target. I ind T can now effectively engage aerial targets and ground targeta with the sightless air rifle with no trouble, but I am shooting at a range of 15 feet. How can I transfer this new found knowledge and ability to a service weapon with the protruding sights and when my range ie many meters, not © matter of a fev feet? In the first place, you won't be shooting your service weapon at serial tar- gets. You were taught to do this with the aix eifle simply to dramatically illustrate how mich better you can shoot than you thought you could. In addition, you were 1 wring how to hit moving targets. As far av ground targets ere concerned, you fire on them with the service weapon exactly you have done with the air rifle. You simply look over che sights (NOT AROUND THEM). You f ten your eyes on the intended point of impact (as an eid in training an orange spot is painted in lover center of E-Tyoe silhouette), bring your weapon to your shoulder and LOOKING over the eights, pull the trigger. You will hie; and, with praecice, you will be deadly at ranges to 100 meters and more. At far ranges and when you have plenty of time, use your sights. "Quick Kill" is just as the name implies. When an enemy target appeare at a near range and your survival depends on speed and reaction com bined with accuracy, "Quick KiII" is the ansver. 42APPENDIX VI SUBJECT SCHEDULE SECTION 1 GENERAL 1, Porpose.
